The Stamelos Gallery Center is proud to share the inaugural MWCS Signature Exhibition, guest curated by Rocco Pisto, with the campus and greater community. Forty-two exceptional artists have qualified for their Signature status with MWCS by being juried into at least four annual exhibitions over the last ten to twelve years. Signature members that have also completed a three-year term on the board received a Great Lakes Fellow designation to honor their volunteer service. There are thirteen Great Lakes Fellows exhibiting.
These Signature Members come from all parts of the state. Their work varies from representational to abstract, and everything in between, as each artist shares their distinctive styles and techniques. The remarkable watercolors featured in this exhibition are a sound representation of MWCS membership and the extraordinary artistic talent here in Michigan.
This exhibition is free to the public and will be on view at the Stamelos Gallery Center from July 14th until September 24th.
